It's quite fun to have a space to add furniture, to vignette and to sit out front where all the neighborhood activity is. Not that I sit out front in the middle of winter...but you know what I mean...

...you could sit and enjoy a cup of coffee if you were so inclined....

the Merry Christmas garland is going to get "weathered" but won't that just add to it's charm

view as you walk up the driveway...

I usually put a large pine tree out front.

This year I decided to pot a bunch of Little's....

the pine tree school sign was the perfect touch

by the front door... an assemblage of Vintage, garden, Pine and Birch

and then there is the front door.

I try to go non-traditional every year.

This year two stockings hung with yarn wrapping the door

I love to use signage whenever possible...

My little wooden Christmas tree.

I had a couple different friends of mine make trees for the Barn this year out of scrap wood... So cute. If you drive by the Barn you will see many different shapes and sizes adorning both outside and inside.

I hope you enjoyed the outdoor tour... now picture it all buried in 2 feet of snow.

In my house .... small... I have a tiny area that I call the bar... It is shown below. A Vintage liquor cabinet, a mirror and a couple of shelves for extra display room.

The area has a kind-of margarita look in the summer, wine in the fall AND a definite Martini feel at Christmas time. I guess my mood and drink of choice, changes with the seasons...

Christmas = martini

This is my favorite vignette at my house this year... no, not because of the drinks...because of how darn cute it is...I found this vintage top hat and I knew it would be perfect for the bar table. I also found one more vintage reindeer this year. So excited to add one more to the collection... is it a collection if you only had one to start with...? Well, now I have two... the red one is from my childhood. I am keeping him in the family and the taller black one is my newbie... isn't it sweet how they stick out their tongue.

Lori Miller, Owner and Author

The Round Barn Potting Company is an adventure in design and decor. I began this adventure June 01, 2007. My brick and mortar shop was housed in a large round barn, hence the name of my company. I have recently closed the brick and mortar shop but my mind continues to create. The blog reflects my style, which is a mix of vintage and architectural pieces, casually blended with new product. My home is a place to come for daily rejuvenation and inspiration. I will post as many pictures as I can. I will fill the online shop when I can and can ship almost all merchandise in the US. You can always check on product that you see by emailing me at loriatthebarn@ymail.com
